LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 83 - Back Home
“Last night, when your father was halfway there, he saw an elderly woman from the neighboring village fall into a ditch.”
“You know your dad; he's always had a soft heart, so he couldn't just walk away. He went ahead and helped the old lady.”
“But the old lady ended up insisting that your dad had caused her injuries.”
“Your dad suggested taking the old lady to the hospital for a check-up. If she was genuinely hurt, he said we'd cover the medical expenses.”
“However, the old lady's family is causing a ruckus. They refuse to go to the hospital and even came to our house in the middle of the night, beating up your dad. Right now, he's in the hospital.”
“Son, I understand it's tough for you. If I had any other option, I wouldn't have called you…”
On the other end of the phone, Lee Sumei sobbed.
Su Ming seethed with anger.
His fists clenched tightly!
His father, Su Tao, had always been renowned for his kindness in the neighboring villages.
He had led an honest life, never involved in any wrongdoing.
Su Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to contain his rage. “Mom, don't worry. I'll head home immediately and handle this situation.”
“Alright.”
Lee Sumei nodded, placing her trust in her grown son. Still, she couldn't help but voice her concerns, “No matter what, don't let your emotions cloud your judgment…”
“Mom, I won't.”
Su Ming ended the call.
After hanging up, Su Ming's anger was palpable, even alarming President Chen, who stood nearby.
Through the phone conversation, President Chen learned that Su Ming's father had been extorted and assaulted.
“Mr. Su, please don't let anger cloud your judgment. I can drive you back immediately.”
President Chen hastily offered.
“Thank you very much.” freewebno vel.co m
Su Ming's emotions were in turmoil.
The two of them swiftly exited and headed for Su Ming's Koenigsegg.
President Chen recognized the car, and he was surprised that Su Ming could afford such a sports car.
Su Ming shared the hospital's location with President Chen.
Fortunately, the hospital wasn't too far away, approximately a four-hour drive.
President Chen drove at top speed, pushing the car to its limits.
With President Chen's driving skills, they were set to reduce the original four-hour journey by half.
As expected, after two hours, the red sports car pulled up outside a county hospital.
Su Ming and President Chen rushed inside.
Su Ming already knew his father was in Room 405. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
Upon reaching the fourth floor, they heard a commotion in the corridor.
“Su Tao, you've injured my mother like this, but you refuse to pay? If you don't cough up 300,000 yuan today, I'll take you to court and have you locked up!”
Just as the shouting began to fade, Lee Sumei's tearful voice spoke up, “Your old lady wasn't even touched by my husband. She fell into the ditch by herself. We've called the police, and they'll uncover the truth. What are you doing?”
Su Ming's anger flared up again when he heard this. He strode out of the elevator, followed closely by President Chen.
A middle-aged man stood by the entrance to his father's ward, his hair slightly graying. A group of people, presumably the elderly woman's family, stood behind him. Lee Sumei stood alone by the door, doing her best to block them from entering.
Su Ming's eyes reddened. How had his mother managed through the day?
“Stop!”
President Chen shouted.
When those people heard the voice, they turned around to see two individuals approaching.
“Who are you two? Get out of here!”
The middle-aged man leading them frowned.
“Son!”
When Lee Sumei spotted Su Ming, relief washed over her, but that was quickly replaced by concern. “Son, you need to leave right now. I can handle things here on my own. Please, go!”
Su Ming nearly teared up at his mother's words.
Even at a time like this, she was worried about his safety.
“Mom, it's alright.”
Su Ming reassured her with a faint smile.
“Are you the family of the elderly lady?”
Su Ming inquired with a furrowed brow.
“Yes, we are,” the middle-aged man confirmed.
“I'm Su Tao's son,” Su Ming replied calmly. “You claim my father injured your mother. Well, I left in a hurry and didn't bring my bank card. Could you provide your bank details so my friend here can transfer the money?”
The middle-aged man sneered, “Su Ming, don't think you can get away with this. You've injured my mother, and we demand 300,000 yuan as compensation.”
Su Ming turned to President Chen, saying, “Chen, I don't have my bank card with me. Could you handle the payment?”
“Su Ming, don't worry. Leave it to me.”
“Send me your bank account number, and I'll transfer the money.”
President Chen stepped forward, his demeanor challenging these individuals.
